Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 1495 and 1421 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 1 in column 1 and get 6.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 2 in column 2 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 4 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 1 in column 4 and get 2.

So, 1495 + 1421 = 2916.
